Stranded with the rancher

by Janice Maynard

Stranded with the rancher: Enemies forced together just might become lovers in USA TODAY bestselling author Janice Maynard's Texas Cattleman's Club tale. For billionaire horse breeder Drew Farrell, the day starts with the usual argument with ornery neighbor Beth Andrews. But within minutes, he and the irritating beauty are huddled together in a storm cellar praying for their lives. They call a truce ... and seal it with an unexpected kiss. They emerge to a scene of utter devastation. Their passion to rebuild is only rivaled by the very personal passion they've just discovered ... until Beth's past catches up with her, and a very different type of storm erupts. Her secret husband: Years ago, Heath Langston eloped with Julianne Eden. Their parents wouldn't have approved. So when the marriage remained unconsummated, they went their separate ways without telling anyone what they'd done. Now, family turmoil forces Heath and Julianne back into the same town-into the same house. Heath has had enough of living a lie. It's time for Julianne to give him the divorce she's avoided for so long-or to fulfill the promise in her smoldering glances and finally become his wife in more than name only.
